“Dear LSU, These past four years have changed my life. Putting on a purple and gold leotard, competing in front of 13,000 rabid Tigers fans, having coaches pressuring me to perform my best, and being part of a team that made school history. And no matter how many opportunities come your way off the mat, there’s something special about LSU.”

“So I’m here to say I’m not ‘Dan’ yet.”

Dunn had a pretty amazing year in 2024. Not only did she win a national championship with the Tigers, she appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for the second year in a row, and she was also in a steady relationship with Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes.

The New Jersey native twice tied her career-best score of 9.9 on floor exercise eight times last season and also helped LSU win the SEC title with her performance on uneven bars.
